Croatia is a nudists paradise.
Croatian's themselves aren't particularly into nudism, but Germans are. And Germans love to holiday in Croatia. There are nudist beaches, campgrounds, and resorts all along the coast and on most of the islands. A good place to start is
http://www.cronatur.com/beach.htmMost of these beaches are out of the way and populated almost exclusively by German (or Dutch) nudists. Some are very large and very popular. A population of ~100% nudists is idyllic for lazing about, swimming, and working on your tan, but not much of a cfnm opportunity. I have only found two exceptions but both are worth mentioning.
Lokrum Island, Dubrovnik
(Description from Cronatur:)How to get there: Catch one of the boats running every 30 mins from the old harbour to Lokrum once on the island walk from the jetty up a small hill then bear left at fork (FKK sign points this way) walk along footpath passing public toilets on right until you reach a number of signs indicating nude beach FKK. Walk down hill past drinks kiosk.
Facilities at the beach: Shower Toilet Restaurant
Description:
When you get off the boat there is a kiosk that sells sponge mats, be sure to purchase one because the nudist beach is just huge rocks so can be uncomfatable, this was our first time of going to a nude beach and I was surprised at the number of ppl who keep clothes on untill they choose a spot to sun bathe, most of whom just take a look around then leave, but it didnt put us off and we will certainly go again.
(Review from me:)Lokrum is quite a scenic island, close to the extremely busy tourist town of Dubrovnik. Dubrovnik is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, so it varies from very busy (low season) to shoulder-to-shoulder (high season). From Dubrovnik port there are small ferries that go to Lokrum. From the ferry dock on the island its a short walk to a well signed nudist section.
As always, there is a gay section, which is further to the south. Sticking to the north, the beach has a shower and lots of flat rocks, and is in my experience 100% nude. (The reviewer above noticed that people walked clothed until they decided where to sit/lay before getting naked - they still count as nudists to me). There are a few places where you can access the water - either through very satisfying cliff jumps or much easier steel ladders.
Until about 11am it was a scenic fully nude beach with views down the Adriatic sea, sparkling water, high white cliffs in the distance, and the odd mega yacht. From then onwards there is a stream of tourists, either in tourist boats that stop only a few metres offshore (the water drops off very suddenly) or from kayaks that come within arms length of the rocks (there is a popular kayak tour for the young and fit that does a lap of Lokrum island - some keep their distance from the nudists and some accidentally bang their kayaks into the rock you're standing on because they aren't watching where they're going). Lying, sitting or standing on one of the rocks that is immediately next to the sea can be a rather extreme cfnm experience, of suddenly staring back at 50 Chinese tourists brandishing cameras from a nearby boat.
These aquatic tourists are fully clothed (rather than in bikinis as at most clothing optional beach) which makes the cfnm nature of the experience more obvious. The german regulars act like they don't even notice that they've become a tourist attraction in their own right.
I've been in July 2014 and April 2018, and both times were much the same, except July was busier.
Jerolim Beach, Hvar(Review from CroNatur:)Name of the beach: Jerolim
Location of the beach: Jerolim island just opposite Hvar town, island of Hvar
How to get there: By taxi boat from Hvar town. Choice of several boats running at least hourly until 13.00. Return at least hourly from 16.00 to 18.00. Cost 10 kuna return. Be sure to use same boat on outward & return trip as operators will look for you.
Take a look at Hvar panorama with naturist islands in the back
Facilities at the beach - none (
this isn't accurate, there is a beach bar (clothing optional) and a restaurant (clothed) on the island.)Description:
Large island with generally rocky beaches fringed by pine groves offering plenty of shade. Couple of fine shingle areas. Wear shoes when bathing as sea urchins can be a problem. The back of the island away from the jetty is more private than area around jetty and restaurant. Facilities do not open until mid to late June, so own supplies of water and food are essential early & late season. Very clean.
(Review from me:)Hvar is an oddity. It was once a quiet peaceful Croatian Island, with some historic and archeological sites, much like any other. It was as far as you could imagine from a party island - that was still confined to Ibiza (Spain) or Mykonos (Greece). During this time, beaches on both Jerolim and Stipanska island were set aside for nude bathing to cater to the middle-aged German tourist crowd.
Then first one and then a second mega-club opened on one of the nearby islands, and suddenly Hvar was overrun by thousands of college-aged party animals. The biggest contingent seems to be Brits, but most European countries were represented as well as Australians, Americans, and a few other nationalities. They party all night, aided by pharmaceutical products, wake up in the afternoon, and decide they can't do anything except laze on the beach. The beaches on the main Hvar island are nothing special, so they catch one of the many water taxis out to the smaller picturesque islands, like Jerolim.
You can probably guess where this is going....
In the morning Jerolim is a quiet nudist beach. The best place seems to be the semi-circular bay on the far side of the island from where the taxis stop (more peaceful without the water taxies, and south facing to catch the sun). Reserve a sun lounge early, when its still quiet. In the morning I'd say at least half of the crowd is nude, including couples, singles and families.
After lunch, hordes of british girls arrive in bikinis and take over the beach. For some reason the boys don't seem to come - maybe more interested in sleeping than tanning, or, from what I heard in the conversations, more likely to choose alcohol as their drug of choice and therefore have a sun-averse hangover. The families and most of the nudists leave. Those nudists that remain find themselves surrounded by clothed people. By about 4pm I'd say the beach was 90% clothed and 70% college aged females. This despite a sign saying "nudist beach". The beach can be so crowded in high season that you almost have to step over the bikini-people just to get from the water, to your towel, to the bar, and back again. Lots of giggling, whispering, glancing, and opportunities for chatting.
I've been twice but both times in July 2014. I can't vouch for whether this experience was unusual or particularly seasonal. But if my visit is any indication, its an amazing cfnm location.

Anyway, those are my reports from Croatia. I went to about 12 nudist beaches in the south of the country up to the island of Krk. Apparently the far north of the country (Istra) is very nude-friendly as well but I haven't been. Does any one else have any reports from Croatia?
